Re: About Windows GTK+ BIG5 (fwd)

Hi:

Under Linux(MDK 8), I can use gtk_set_locale(); to set the locale,
and the big5 characters can display correctly in default widgets. No
need to setlocale(LC_ALL,"");, bindtextdomain();, textdomain();, or
to define other macros. But I don't know what is going to happen
with just gtk_set_locale(); if I want to develop a fully functional big5
Chinese application.

When I see the GTK+ for Windows, the words on that web page say
that use g_convert() to convert non-ASCII characters into UTF-8 in i18n, for
that
UTF-8 is GTK+'s internal representations.  And this doesn't work
in a button widget( and may be others, I haven't tried it yet) while setting
the window title with gtk_window_set_title() works fine. Under Windows,
with gtk_set_locale() or without gtk_set_locale() causes the same result
with this small test program.

Is that the same way to use gettext/PO/MO under Windows(no Cygwin)
as that under Linux?

If I only want to develop big5 applications, is that the only way to
support big5 locale with gettext/PO/MO?
